It's the 25th anniversary of the show this year and it is already setting out to be an excellent show. Club stand space has sold out four months before the show and we have had to turn away a dozen other clubs who were all desperate to get in. Private entries are also filling up fast, with only a few spaces left. available. It's a similar story with the trade, and autojumble stands, with only a few plots remaining.
With the club displays being the best yet seen in the U.K. at Stafford in October, expect the quality at the 25th Bristol Classic Motorcycle Show to be no less. There will be club stands to serve every taste, from classic British bikes, to classic Italian and Japanese -- respectively the AJS & Matchless Owners Club, Moto Guzzi Club G.B and the Suzuki owners club, who say they are making an interactive display for the kids. Others include the National Hill Climb Association, the Red Marley, Cotton Owners Club and the Francis Barnett Owners Club, all of who will be putting on some fantastic displays. These are not the only clubs by any means, as we currently have 50 confirmed Club stands, all competing for the attention of the enthusiasts. The Vincent owners club will be putting on an excellent display as they celebrate the 50th anniversary of the closure of bike production at the Vincent factory.
The quality of machines on display is amazing. Sid Wilkinson of Tetbury, Gloucestershire is Bringing his lovely example of a 1924 Dot Bradshaw. Paul Read is bringing a stunning 1962, 250 cc Ariel Leader which is all original with all the period extras. Also Richard Lane from kingsteignton is bringing along a superb 1951 James Cadet. The machine is 98 cc and was often used in the post office. He is also bringing a 1935 Excelsior Consort. These are just a few from the plethora of bikes on display all vying for attention.
It's still not too late to book a trade or autojumble stand at the show, so to avoid disappointment book quickly as they are selling up fast.
